SBARs for Ketamine & Midazolam Shortages

Subject: SBARs for Ketamine & Midazolam Shortages
Date: October 31st 2023

Please share this information with your staff in case they receive a box that has been shorted.  SBARs attached.  

 

Over the weekend TEMS was made aware that some TEMS pharmacy sites are having issues obtaining a sufficient supply of midazolam 5mg/mL vials.  These sites will temporarily decrease the midazolam vial PAR from #3 to a minimum of #2 vials during the supply interruption. 

 

In addition, we have also received emails about intermittent supply issues with ketamine 50mg/mL vials and sodium bicarb syringes again.

 

Please see the updated TEMS shortage list for the current plans to handle at https://www.tidewaterems.org/tems-drug-iv-box-info/medication-shortages

 

As always, the outside of the effective boxes will be marked with any shortage information.

 

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

 

Thank you,

 

Dave
